If engine shakes then it may be due to the bad valve seat. If engine running rough at idle then its oxygen sensor rading lean. Change it.

Sounds like an injector to me. That would be a code 3XX the X being which cylinder or multiple. There is a youtube vidio showing a simple fix, basically take (with it running) an extension, with a hammer and tap gently on the injector, that should work. Again, the 3xx code will tell you which cylinder(s).
